    Jalen Green is averaging less than 18 ppg in a G-league that Danuel House averaged 21 ppg in.

    Green put up great efficiency in the g league 60% ts and wows you every game with his athleticism. You can imagine if he can put it all together, especially passing and defense, then he can be really special.

    When watching him play, the only concern I had was he gotta be on attack mode more often.

    Suggs is that guy. Plays basketball like it is football a contact sport, gets to the line at will. Elite defender, elite playmaker, elite winner.

    I will still take Cunningham.

    Although I like Mobley

    Green reminds of a young Gerald Green. Great athlete got skills, can he improve?

    If we don't end up trading wall, I don't mind him mentoring suggs.

    Kinda hope we get a pick within the 2-4 range so we don’t feel pressured to draft Cade just because everyone hypes him up to be a generational talent. I’m not seeing it.

    Green then Suggs.

    Maybe for one year. At the top of the draft you can't let who is on your team now affect you taking the best player. Wall is not in the long term future of the team.

    Higher floor in Suggs. Higher ceiling in Green. Basement just fell out for Cunningham.

    Green is also by far the most underdeveloped physically, can easily put on 15 pounds of muscle. Cade is not getting any quicker or taller.

    Mobley putting up the best numbers. But I wonder does he have that killer in him? There is no question Suggs got that mamba/cp3 mentality.

    no one atm, but I don’t want Wall mentoring anyone...this is the same John Wall that was throwing up gang signs on video just a few months ago, and he’s too selfish on the court

    if we drafted Suggs and Wall is still here, he’d likely start out as Wall’s backup playing 20 minutes like we just saw with KPJr...if he’s on the court with Wall at the same time, no way is Wall letting him run point and control the team’s offense

    wallideepo should be mentoring suggs. then once he inherits that oser mentaliry, we trade suggs for multiple unprotected frp... triggering phase 3 of the tank

    After watching Suggs I like him more than Green.
    Honestly, looks like he’s a better pure pg than Cade.

    Suggs over Cade and it isn’t even close. Suggs is a much better defender and has a quick enough step to get around people. He has good command of an offense and has enough quickness and to get into then lane for the dish and finish. I would also take Mobley in a heartbeat over Cade.

    Honestly, if we’re looking for a guard I’d take the athletic kid from UCONN, Bouknight. He has the athleticism of Mitchell and at 6’5” is a great one on one player. Could be a steal of a draft for guards. I also wouldn’t mind seeing us go after Kispert, who I think is the best shooter in college basketball at 6’7”

    Does anyone see a true winner or true leader in Cunningham? Not me, Suggs all day long...
